My definitive #RoamGames submission:
I've drip-fed submissions to the team/task mgmt RoamGames so this thread brings them together into one mega-submission. @Conaw, @RoamResearch
First, the thread that triggered the topic of this very RoamGame. I assume I can submit this? A fun live-tweet creating a new workflow in Roam in < 15 mins (it would have taken < 5 mins if I didn't have to live tweet it)
Second, the big one, my newly released work-in-progress Roam for Teamwork graph building all the lessons, templates and plugins you need to realise The Dream (also contains a definition of The Dream if you need that too)
Third, the Slack notification plugin I developed for with @dvargas92495 (joint submission?) this is the piece that locked in my team's adherence to Roam and makes me happy every time I click the button (was a @RoamBounties)
I hope this submission can provide the _why_ and the _How_ for the amazing plugins and features I've seen developed for team Roams during these games.
I discovered that those whose work I've built on may get prize money so I'd like to shout out to: @dvargas92495 (building Slack notification pugin and many roam/js pugins I use) @calhistorian (for multiplayer dashboards and roam collaboration)
@roamhacker (for Roam42 and SmartBlocks) @shawnpmurphy8 (for Roam highlighter and attribute table plugins) @VladyslavSitalo (for Roam toolkit esp ;date; manipulation - my single most used feature)
@RoamFm (for our ep together and welcome to community) @Mappletons (tag and block reference css) @DavidCrandall (split screen css)

#RoamGames submission: Announcing the *Roam For Teamwork graph*, a resource for anyone who shares my dream of having an organisation's knowledge base emerge naturally out of everyday teamwork.
The thing that excited me immediately about Roam was how atomic blocks would allow different systems to always reference the same source of truth, potentially eliminating duplication and knowledge loss across different parts of a company.
So I took the steps to move my whole company over to Roam. CRM, tech dev, specifications, discussions, meeting minutes, call agendas, service delivery, customer support, etc. The only thing not on there are icky legal and financial details.
Benefits
✅ Improves adherence to Roam across the team
✅ Works with any nomenclature for tagging people
✅ Works with any task management system
✅ Slack notification provides customisable context
✅ Easy to set up
One of the biggest challenges of using Roam in a team is getting everyone on the same [[page]] and ((block)) when they need to be. You need to inform people of questions, changes and new responsibilities.
Full disclosure we've been having some performance issues on the platform. Team member made a suggestion that appeared on my Attention page.
So I responded in-place and created the page as I typed with [[Website issues]]
(note notification back and date so it appears as something new on Daily Notes)
